WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
(ORIG.) BIG APPLE PRODUCTION VOL. III ‘Genius At Work’ (US J&T Records JT-103)
Traditionally mixed and edited, rather than scratched, 0-107⅓-109⅓-113½-111-112½-116⅔-119½-118½-0bpm megamix running through many classic break beats, the flip having a rap augmented 107⅔-108-107½-108-107⅔bpm mix of Trouble Funk’s ‘Pump Me Up’ and a rhythm extended 116½bpm remix of Janet Jackson’s ‘When I Think Of You’ – so all a bit dodgy, for collectors.
